There’s nothing quite like an Irish cottage – iconic, quaint, and full of history.

Property prices may be skyrocketing once again in Dublin, but in the rest of Ireland, and especially in the countryside, there are still phenomenal deals to be had. Especially if you’re willing and able to roll up your sleeves for some DIY renovation. (Or hire people who know what they’re doing.)

We took a look through the property listings on daft.ie to find the cheapest and most interesting cottages on the market in Ireland right now. None of them are exactly in turn-key condition, but with prices starting at $17,000 (€13,000), we’re not about to complain.

Is any of these your Irish dream cottage? Which one would you buy? Let us know in the comments section.

An auction listing that appears to have been someone’s work in progress. Originally a stone cottage, the walls were stripped back for wiring, and the previous owner added a new roof and septic tank. The property comes with 0.15 acres and “a large lawn.”

Also new to the market, this cottage currently has two bedrooms but would make a great expansion project for the right buyer. The 1 acre of land overlooks Moygara Castle and is close to scenic Lough Gara Lake. Listed for auction by Vincent Egan Auctioneers.

Well how’s that for an enchanting name! The cottage, which is in need of renovation, sits on 1.25 acres outside Athea, Co. Limerick. The current layout includes two bedrooms, a loft, and a kitchen with an open fireplace.

This traditional gem will require “extensive refurbishment,” but its rural location near the River Moy will make it a great holiday retreat for the right buyer. The listing has been on the market since 2010, which always makes one wonder, but this is the lowest price it has been offered for.

This listing description for this two bedroom cottage doesn’t say much about the property aside from it being “derelict” and coming with one acre of land. However, the photos show an outbuilding, some lovely original stonework, a tiled fireplace and a nice gravely country road leading up to the gate.
